ORIGINAL: kovachian Nationalism, politics, family, marketing, patriotism, heritage, business...lovely world isn't it? People can go out and buy a pair of Doc Martens made in China or Thailand, a BMW made in Kentucky and nobody is breaking those companies up. But the minute somebody contracts the Chinese for a Conde guitar, look out! right. just one point: are you or anyone actually sure that they now contract china to build their guitars ? (Felipe or Mariano, doesn't matter) all i know, is that some guy came to the foro and said that some guy heard from some guy that some guy said something about china and so the brothers broke up. wow, cool story. very convincing. i will never ever touch a Conde again. hey guys, i heard from some guy from GSI that now some communist slaves from north korea now build estebanana's guitars, while he is chatting in the foro.....belieeve me,,,,he told me that....its true

While we are at spreading rumors, i give you some more which i heard from someone who heard these from someone else, but i don't want to mention names : - Mariano had a fling with Felipe's Wife. Felipe found out and got extremely mad, made his own shop and lable and told GSI and everyone else that Mariano now imports guitars from China. Good revange, Ole. - The 2 brothers still love eachother. they just had a new business idea. they noticed that the name Conde Hermanos is not that cool nowadays anymore like in the past (not in real world where still nearly every professional plays a Conde in his concert of course - but mainly because of some foroflamenco theories), anyway so they thought its time for something new. so lets act like we are seperating, make new names, new shops, new lables and see what happens. if it doesn't work, we go back to Conde Hermanos again. - Money-Grubbing Mariano really builds them in China now. Felipe hates that. he decided that he doesn't want to have anything to do with China, and therefore made his own new shop and lable and told the true story to GSI. Ole Felipe! Buuuuh Mariano. - Money-Grubbing Felipe is the one who builds his guitars in China, now with Fake Lable. Mariano is still building in spain. But to make more Money Felipe decided to spread the rumor that Mariano is the one with the Chinese. Ole Mariano....Buuuuh Felipe ! - They are both building guitars in China with crap quality and crazy price and they are both fooling everyone. in that case, Ole Estebanana...buuuuuuuuh Conde Hermanos - They are both building in China, but because there is some unknown unbelievable magical luthier maestro in China, who can build guitars with Conde design with perfect precision and even better than Mariano and Felipe (and Sanchis) and for very good chinese price. But since, no one wants to see a name like "Maestro Ching Chang Chong" in the lable of his guitar, but a cooler name like JOSE (lately also names like Stephen, John, etc. are acceptable), so the Conde brothers decided to hide this chinese name , but the chinese builder got mad and told the truth..... in that case OLE CHINA! Ole Conde!..... Buuuuuuh arrogant, expensive and lazy Spanish and US builders ! - The Widow of Faustino in Calle Gravina had the idea with China to make some extra bucks. - Mariano had enough of guitars, he made enough money by fooling people and now wants to enjoy his life in bahamas. So Felipe was left alone, therefore -> Felipe Conde and no more Conde Brothers Ok, choose one acc. your preferance And here are some websites , choose one acc. your preferance http://www.conde-hermanos.com/index_flash.htm http://www.hermanosconde.com/ http://www.condehermanos.com/es/ http://www.felipeconde.es (this one redirects to condehermanos lol) but this one is the REAL site now: http://felipeconde.com/ LOL
